Georgia has to go down as the worst name ever, surely? "hey what should we name this new state? oooh i know let's call it Indonesia! That'll avoid any future confusion!"

169 (nice)

hell fantasy roleplay is just what many need to explore their identity

if you're going to nitpick then make sure you're not technically incorrect.
You're talking about the SI system, which is a metric system but not the metric system.

Quoth wikipedia (yes wikipedia isn't a source, but i'm not the one who started nitpicking so i don't have to be nitpick proof :^)
"... metric system refers to ones that standardise a set of base units and a nomenclature describing relatively large and small quantities using decimal-based multiplicative unit prefixes (such as kilo and milli). The International System of Units (SI) is a good example, and there are other widely accepted systems (less popular than SI) mainly used in specific fields, such as the Gaussian units for electromagnetism."

I will never understand this argument, how could any temperature scale be more intuitive than "0 is where water freezes, 100 is where it boils"??

Those two things are utterly universal unless you happen to live high up on a mountain (in which case you'll be off by a couple degrees, oh the horror) and quite possibly the most relevant temperatures for us.

The only other objective and universal temperatures i can think of would be when skin burns and when you get frostbite or something, the latter of which is still questionably objective and both of which are.. impractical to use for calibration..

anyone who has worked with blueprints has it hammered into them that you ALWAYS use millimeters to prevent confusion, go complain to the engineers who make sure the buildings you're in don't crumble apart.

i'm genuinely struggling a lot to figure out what your argument is here

"ich believen we needen ein name für unser forest which so dense zat no light gets through.. ach ja! Black forest!"

Sweden has a knife law, you can't carry knives in public without a valid reason.

y'know this actually made me think of a good plot for a short spinoff:

Hardcore christian person finds the death note, spends some time researching who the most evil people are, then follows a year of writing one name every day after which they go through a ritual and prayers and then repeat the next day, and at the end they finish by writing their own name because they know humans can't be trusted with that power and consider themselves to have simply been the hand of god and now it's time to face His judgement.

Basically just literally Silas (the white haired dude) in the Da Vinci Code.
